I watch Renesmee carefully. She is climbing trees, her hair getting caught in numerous branches and leaves.

"Nessie?" I call. "Are you sure that's safe?" She is so little...

She laughs. Her small face, which looks maybe twenty now, crinkled up. "Silly Jacob. You know I'm strong enough. I'm six," Nessie adds proudly, with as much dignity as she can muster.

I shake my head. "Renesmee, if you fall and your mother gets mad at you, it's all your fault!" She laughs again, almost at the top now. I sigh. I can barely see her once tiny form, now big. Her growth was slowing, but she still look bigger every day. Like I looked, according to Bella. Nessie sits down on a tree branch. I sit down on the warm grass, too. I look around for some flowers. The next thing I know, I see a shadow flying past me and landing on another tree. I glance up at Nessie--wait, where is she?

"Nessie? Renesmee Carlie Cullen, if you don't get down here right now..." I trail off, heart pounding in my chest. Did she fall? Is she ok? Where the--

Warm hands over my eyes stop my frantic worrying. I saw me, head whipping around frantically. Apologies colour the vision. I spin around and give Renesmee a hug, lifting her off her feet. I bury my face in her hair.

I glanced at him and saw that he was watching me from the corner of his eye. My eyes narrowed, he was so protective.

A sudden grin flashed across my face and then dissapeared as my face set and I flew through the trees, leaving him to catch up.

I got to the cottage first and could hear the whisper quiet movements of my parents inside.

Jacob finally caught up and I chuckled under my breath, covering it with a cough.

"Nessie," his voice came from behind a tree. "You do know that I let you win, right?"

I rolled my eyes as he took my hand and pulled me into the house.

"Nessie!" Came my mother's relieved voice and before I could wonder what she was worrying about her arms were around me.

"Mamma...mo- MOM! What's wrong?" I pulled out of Mom's arms gently and held her at arms length, my thoughts accentuating my worry.

I could feel my Jacob trembling behind me and knew he wouldn't be able to handle the suspense much longer.

My father sighed and pulled Mamma from my arms and held her under his arm. "Alice saw..."

He trailed off, sighing a little. "She saw Jane paying us a visit..."

"What??" I spluttered. "WHY??"

((:D Hee hee, ok, like it so far? I have yet to figure out why Jane is visiting... Reaaalllyyy sorry, but I have to go to bed, school tomorrow!!!! You could just leave it and I'll edit tomorrow, or you could kick around some ideas ))

I closed my eyes. Jake was there immediately. For once I was glad of his protectiveness. I turned and rested my head on his chest, his warm, big, arms encircling me. "Why?" I whispered. "Why would Jane come? In one week it's my birthday, then it's Momma's. Does she know that?"
